ning Of New Sisidc

EANDSPIT, B.C., Jan. 20-(CP) - When help finally came. there were only seven men left on the wing. i

Those seven and their rescuers reconstructed this story of what happened when a Korean airlift plane with 43 persons aboard, in- cluding a stewardess, tried to make an emergency landing at this air- port in the Queen Charlotte Is- lands early Saturday.

with one engine dead, the plane touched down once on the icy run- way Pilot John Pfnlflnger. 39. of Kent. Wash. saw he hadn't enough runway to get down safely and gunned the plane to rise and go around again.

He never made it. The big DC-4 aircraft stalled and plunged into 15 feet of chili- Pacific water three- quarters of a mile off the end if the runway.

Ten died in the crash.

83 Climb On Wing

The other 22 struggled through the escape hatch in the top of the fuselage and clambered onto the one wing that remained above water. That was at 1:38 A.M.

In the confusion. the dinghies had either been left behind or could not be freed.

The sea. was running high. The wind was bitter. The survivors screamed for help.

As the cold and flying spray took hold. the survivors slipped one by one from their narrow perch. Even with lifejackets on, a person can survive only about half an hour in a cold sea.

Seven men hung on and con- t'nued to shout for help.

Guided by the shouts, they fin- ally arrived at the wreckage at- 3:34 A.M. The seven were near exhaus- tzcn. But the 12-foot skill could take only two at a time.

The two weakest were helped into the small boat first and Fras- er and Glass rowed them to shore. They went 'ack for two more. then two more, and finally the last man.

Small boats labored all day look- ing for other possible survivors and in hopes of beaching the plane. But they pulled off the tail anem- bly and the plane settled into deep- cr water.

Later. the tide carried eight bodies into shore.

There were no Canadians aboard the plane. All 40 passengers were American military personnel re- turning from Korea and Japan.

One-Year-Plan Might ilit Hard in Bad Year

HALIFAX, Jan. 20-(CP)-Pre- mier Macdonald today urged a Federal-Provincial conference to further discuss Ottawa's new pro- posals to renew tax rental agree- ments with ihe Provinces. He said there were two main points in the proposals that should have further consideration: 1. The alternative plan now offered by Ottawa to calcul- ate payments to the provinces on the basis of gross national product and population for a single year rather than on a three-year basis, as under the

present agreement. 2. A guaranteed minimum payment which in Nova

Scoila's case is 5352.000 less than that offered to the Pro- vince at the December 1951. Federal-Provincial conference. "These are two points that should be discussed further. and I think another conference should be called," the Premier said.

Under the present fax rental agreements, the payments to the provinces are calculated on the basis of the adjusted average for three years of the gross national product (the value of total mar- ket prices of goods and services in Canada for a given year) and the populations of the provinces.

Premier Mardonald said there was a "danger" in the single year proposal. The provinces. he said. would benefit if prices and wages continued to go up but should there be a ”bad year" then the payment would drop accordingly.

Calculated on the basis of a three-year average. a itbad year" might possibly be made up by two "good" years, he said.

Situation Might Change

In Nova Spoiia's case the pro- vince would probably benefit the first year of the new agreement. because there was no sign of a recession. But four or five years hence the economical situation might be changed. he said. Un- der the new Ottawa offer, any province agreeing to the "single year plan" would be committed to it for the duration of the five- ycar agreement.

He said further discussion on these points would be sought by his government. but he felt the Federal Government should call a general Federal-Provincial confer- ence to finalize all the details of the new tax rental agreements.

Quebec Man To Build

For Philip

The master odel ship-builder said more this 1,000 hand-carved pieces will go into the four-month job, The model will be built of red mahogamy from the West Indies. ebony from Ceylon, ivory from walrus tusks from the Canadian north. Canadian black walnut, chains, cobbler's thread and wax.

The hull will be 23 inches long, four inches wide and four inches deep. Overall length will be 30 inches and the ship will stand 24 inches high.

The Cosmo was built in 1877 and for 10 years sailed between Can- ada and Britain in the lumber trade. The 200-foot ship's three masts were of iron. something new to Quebec shipbullders then.

Lecouvie, who went to sea at seven and sailed 21 years before joining the police force. will work from a scale model of the Cosmo built at the time of the launching. The model now is displayed in the library of the Quebec Historical

and Lilerary Society.

Reynolds News thought every- body ought to relax and quit trying to marry off the youniz Princess. It published a front- page editorial entitled:

"Let the Princess make her own choice."

The newspaper said the Earl was just one more chapter in the 'royal romance aerlal" conjured up for the Princess. and suggest- ed that "the British press should treat her marital future with more dignity and restraint."

On page five in the same edi- tion the newspaper published a cartoon showing the backs of two hunters-the King had the Earl as his shooting partner all this past week-and with this caption:
